Emergency Power System Upgrades at Florida Hospital

Winter Park, Fla. – RLF – a Winter Park-based architecture, engineering and interiors firm – recently finished upgrading the emergency power distribution system at the Florida Hospital Orlando campus. The project connected the existing hospital to the new Energy Office Building designed by TLC Engineering. The connection provides additional capacity and redundancy for emergency power in the event of a utility company power outage or failure, keeping the hospital fully functional during hazardous weather conditions.

“Over the past two years, all emergency power loads within the existing hospital have been reconnected to the new paralleling switchgear located in the Energy Office Building,” explained Ken Mason, P.E. vice president/director of electrical engineering with RLF. “Because the project was designed with multiple construction phases, the work was completed without any major disruptions to the hospital.”

In addition to local health care projects, RLF works with the Department of Defense on health care facilities throughout the country and overseas.
